That's just one of the issues with the first paragraph. The show "Angel" specifically raises that point when he's afraid to date the werewolf woman (forgot her name right now). A soul mate is a spectacularly rare thing, and way beyond just love.

I agree. Episode 9 is always the biggest one.

And I respect his choices.

Will they get a fourth actor to play the Mountain as he dies screaming on his bed?

Even if the rumor is true, he's still a bastard son and thus doesn't automatically get a title, lands, etc. It took an order from the king to do that with Ramsay Bolton. And Jon can't exactly give himself that order.

Possibly. Also I read somewhere that one of musicians is "that guy from Coldplay." So maybe they wanted to avoid any snickering? :)

The one thing I was surprised they didn't do was also the one big hint I picked up on in the book: The band sounding like garbage.

***WE SPOILIN' THEY HATIN'***

I actually thought the three fetuses were going to take the place of the three leeches. Makes total sense. They have (legitimate) king's blood as well. Otherwise, why invent them for the show? Plus that makes the spell a hell of a lot more creepy, which is what Melisandre is all about.
